Her great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Peel (1752-1834) and Sir Robert Peel, 1st Baronet were both sons of Robert Parsley Peel, so she was related to Robert Peel, twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In 1851 she was living at Knowlmere Manor, Newton-in-Bowland, Lancashire. By 1861 she was at 7 Norfolk Crescent, Paddington, and in 1871 and 1881 back at Knowlmere Manor.

Although in 1901 she was in the census as at the home of her cousin Hester Ann Curteis Peel at Heronden, Tenterden, Kent, she had purchased The Armoury, Winchelsea Sussex in the late 1890s and she owned it until her death on 8 February 1939, aged 95.

In 1885 she enrolled at the new art school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, set up by Hubert von Herkomer and in 1893 she was tutored by Charles Lasar in Walberswick, Suffolk.
